Football career

Stutz joined FC Basel's first team for their 1901–02 season. During his first season with the team, he played in two test games and again during his second season he also played another two friendlies. He also played for their reserve team in the Serie B, the second tier of Swiss football.[1]

Stutz played his domestic league debut for the Basel's first team in their 1903–04 season. This was in the home game in the Landhof on 21 February 1904 and he held a clean sheet as Basel won 3–0 against FC Bern.[2] In his second league game he also held a clean sheet and at the end of the season helped the team out of the relegation zone and Basel finished the season in third position in the group table.[3]

He stayed with the team another season and while with them Stutz played a total of 12 games for Basel. Five of these games were in the Swiss Series A and seven were friendly games.[4] He probably played in more games than mentioned, but the documentation is not complete.[note 03–04 1][note 04–05 1]
